Senior Private Banker, European Clients

DES Capital has been exclusively retained to identify accomplished Senior Private Bankers covering Western European clients, for a select number of confidential executive appointments in Geneva and Zurich.

Fixed remuneration typically ranges between CHF 350,000 and CHF 500,000, and total remuneration may substantially exceed CHF 1 million.

Some relationships span generations. Your platform should be built for the same horizon.

Private banking for Western European clients has always been defined by trust, continuity and discretion. What has changed is the platform. Cross border rules, reporting obligations and booking centre restrictions now decide what an adviser can actually do for the families who rely on them.

Advisers covering France, Benelux, Italy and Iberia know this better than anyone. The relationships are long, often multi generational, and the expectations keep rising: proper lending, credible wealth planning, and an institution that understands the client's home jurisdiction as well as it understands Switzerland.

At some point, every accomplished adviser asks the same question:

Does my current institution still provide the best platform for my clients?

These appointments are intended for professionals with established relationships across Western Europe, principally France, Benelux, Italy and Iberia.

Depending on the institution, the opportunity may include:

• Booking centres in Geneva and Zurich, properly licensed for your markets
• Sophisticated investment and discretionary portfolio management
• Comprehensive lending and structured financing capabilities
• International wealth planning expertise
• Access to both banks and established independents

You have earned your clients' confidence through thoughtful advice, consistency and discretion. Many of your relationships extend across generations, and several of your clients hold interests in more than one European jurisdiction.

The relationships are yours. You built them, you hold them today, and they would follow you to an institution that serves them better.

Successful private bankers rarely move because another institution offers more compensation. They move because another platform allows them to create greater long term value for the clients who have trusted them for years.

European coverage from Switzerland has changed considerably in recent years, and the institutions that handle cross border properly are not always the ones you would expect. Part of our role is to tell you honestly which of our clients can service your clients, and which cannot.

Depending on the institution and the strength of the client franchise, fixed annual remuneration typically ranges between CHF 350,000 and CHF 500,000, complemented by highly competitive long term incentive arrangements. For exceptional professionals, total annual remuneration may substantially exceed CHF 1 million.

Every confidential discussion is conducted personally by a Partner of DES Capital. Your identity and information will never be shared without your explicit prior authorisation.

Every important client relationship begins with a conversation. So does every important career decision.
